A Copper-Catalyzed N-Alkynylation Route to 2-Substituted N-Alkynyl Pyrroles and Their Cyclization into Pyrrolo[2,1-c]oxazin-1-ones: A Formal Total Synthesis of Peramine

Abstract

Screening of a variety of ligands and reaction conditions for the copper-catalyzed cross-coupling of alkynyl bromides with pyrroles, reveals that the use of the phenanthroline ligand 4,7-dimethoxy-1,10-phenanthroline affords a range of ynpyrroles in good to moderate yields. Furthermore, the utility of these ynpyrroles is demonstrated in the preparation of a series of pyrrolo[2,1-c][1,4]oxazin-1-ones and a formal total synthesis of the pyrrole natural product peramine.

Key words

cross-coupling - alkynes - nitrogen heterocycles - cyclization - peramine
